Well, a vote for slightly less rampant socialism anyway.

[Psalm 144]

Hurrah. Go corporatism.

[Baynative]

GOD willing, a vote for Romney is a vote for sanity and some social healing in this great country.

[jessduntno]

Yep. I’m not voting FOR anyone this time around, I’m voting AGAINST. Only way I can do it.

[so_real]

No, I disagree. RomneyCare and ObamaCare are both advances in socialism. It's pure and simple. To argue otherwise is intellectually dishonest. You might choose to accept the crap sandwich in order to get Obama out, but don't pretend it's a hamburger or that's healthier for you.

[Uncle Miltie]

RomneyCare.

[yoe]

Everyone should listen as Fr.Andrew calls a spade a spade....(past the opening prayer...) then he tells the true Obama agenda.

[Mountain Mary]

I agree Jess.

I searched to find a Ryan 2012 bumper without someone else’s name on it.

I can’t fathom voting for that someone...so I’m going to vote for Ryan and against Bam. SIGH.

[reed13k]

Let’s not go overboard - it’s not a vote against socialism it’s a vote against marxism/communism.

[Don Corleone]

I can’t fathom voting for that someone...so I’m going to vote for Ryan and against Bam. SIGH.

Think back...in what recent elections have you ever voted FOR someone? It seems as if its always turning out to be against the most evil for the lesser evil.

Both Hubert Humphrey and Joseph Stalin were “left of center” were they not? Which would you vote for if given the choice?

[marron]

Actually, Obama and his people are open marxists, among themselves.

And their supporters don’t mind using the “socialist” word, among themselves.

They just get exercised if their political enemies use the word.

A vote for Romney is a vote for ANNOYING ROBOCALLING!!!

[marron]

Truth be told, for 80 years the debate in Washington between Democrats and Republicans has turned on how much government should run our lives, not whether government should run our lives in the first place.

Hence the rise of the so-called "tea party". The rank and file GOP have forever called for limited government while their GOP party leaders keep shaving a few dollars off the Democrat agenda and calling it victory. Bleating on about tax cuts while the budget balloons and the regulatory agencies pile layers upon layers upon layers of red tape to do the simplest things. The rank and file are fed up... and yet the best we managed to do is to nominate Romney.

So, while I think its a matter of national survival to push Obama out of office, our work has only begun the day Romney takes office. We will have to fight every day to keep him from giving away the store.

Well, a vote for slightly less rampant socialism anyway.

Only slightly less.

[Pietro]

So the answer is to vote for Obama?

The only choice in the upcoming is slavery or struggle.

Ive struggled all my life, it doesn't deter me.

But I will not be enslaved and if it comes to bullets........

[Uncle Miltie]

I can cover up the name on the top of the ticket and vote for Ryan.

But I’m not going to pretend the guy on the top of the ticket isn’t a Socialist too.

The article title, “A Vote For Romney is a Vote Against Socialism” really can’t be true, when we know good and well from his history that Romney is a Socialist. He’s just the less virulent kind, with an (R) behind his name.

The truth is that “A Vote For Romney is a Vote for Somewhat Less Socialism.” It’s a matter of degree, like your hypothetical between Humphrey and Stalin, both leftists.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yes, but Vice President Humphrey was pro-America, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-defense, pro-Life and believed in Capitalism, albeit with some government intervention. I’ll vote for that kind of candidate over an out-and-out Communist any day and twice on Sunday.
